According to Jessica Carson, a research assistant professor at Carsey, rural counties that are attractive destination spots- either because they are near ski areas or beach fronts- are drawing visitors despite shelter-in-place orders. While urban areas have suffered most from the coronavirus, Carson said that residents in rural communities are more likely to be susceptible to the worst symptoms because they tend to be older than those who live in urban areas and are more likely to suffer from underlying conditions.
